Spirits, Stilettos, and a Silver Bustier by Deanna Chase

Even though I have only read book one of the Jade Calhoun series from which this book spins off, I found this story easy to follow. Pyper was fun and funky with a style all her own and a very open mind. She had been in love with a ghost for a while. Even though she doesn't really see a future, she can't resist their chemistry when he is able to appear in human form.  The ghost is named Julius. He is very dapper and sexy in an understated way. He shows up as Pyper is searching for the perfect vintage dress. Unfortunately for her, when she returns to the store later in the day, the store's owner is dead, and Pyper becomes a prime suspect. Julius and her friends step in to help her solve the crime. The more they investigate, the more connections they find to the past, and even to the event which took Julius's life. The connection between Julius and Pyper continues to grow and deepen with no real future in sight.

Eventually, the couple discovers they are hunting someone who steals power from others, and Pyper's power is on his list. Can her ghost boyfriend save her in time, and what consequences will it have on his existence?

I really enjoyed this story and absolutely plan to continue the series.

Net Galley provided a copy for review.
